Romney sounds too political and petty at the al smith dinner

[mgcgulfcoast]

i was listening on maddow and he seems to be too partisan for a light hearted event.

[Cali_Democrat]

1. That's because he's an asshole. nt

[Loki]

2. Not funny

Hes just an asshole.

[RandySF]

3. What's happening?

It's homework time so the tv is off.

[elleng]

9. mean rmoney at al smith dinner.

[mgcgulfcoast]

15. im sure it will be on youtube later

he made a "joke" about this being the last few months of obamas term and another about biden laughing. he should stick to less partisan stuff at this dinner.

[elleng]

4. And MEAN!

[kywildcat]

5. he does doesn't he-petty, whiney. He isn't getting a very good receipt either

[genna]

27. Did he watch McCain at all?

A few light hearted jabs.

What is this crap fast he is serving up?

[tufnel]

6. Mitt...

He's actually being pretty hilarious, I'd like to know who wrote it for him

[genna]

29. FAIL.

The Catholic abortion stuff?

No it is not funny at all.

[Indpndnt]

37. You have got to be kidding.

[Cha]

40. mittlies is a stupid asshole. fucking dick cheney wrote it for him.

[We People]

43. About as funny as a headache and hardly humorous.

The man cannot laugh at himself, but he can use the jabs he didn't get to use at the debates.

[chelsea0011]

7. Agreed. He is snarky. His jokes are nasty policy stuff.

[DesertFlower]

13. i agree. nt

[beac]

44. Take a few dozen post from Free Republic, string them together and viola--

it's Mittens Smith dinner speech!

Pathetic and unbecoming the occasion.

Mitt is one nasty jerk

[SoapBox]

8. EXACTLY!

...I came into the computing machine to see what DUers were saying.

We agree! My partner is YELLING at Mr. Money now, to shut up with the campaign plugs.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

10. He's had good writers

[Cha]

41. He's "had" good writers?

[beac]

45. Wow, I could not disagree more. Unless by "good" you mean

a group composed of Free Republic Cheeto eaters and Middle School mean girls.

Mitt's snark was not the lighthearted humor the occasion called for.

His "jokes" were all the nasty jabs he couldn't get in on Tuesday.

His speech was a disgrace.

[MichDem10]

11. Romney = Not Funny

[Dawson Leery]

12. Most jokes are supposed to be light and about the person speaking.

Romney is attacking Obama. I am sure the foreign agents, I mean Cardinals and Bishops are enjoying this.

[morrissey fan]

14. Mitt the bad sport

Everyone else through the years used this event to make fun of themselves, Romney is slamming Obama.

[trayfoot]

16. Yes, he is being an asshole tonight!

[soleft]

17. Started out light then got snarky

Interesting that camera not showing reactions

[mgcgulfcoast]

20. his first comment was funny

saying he and ann dress at home like he is dressed tonight. went downhill from there.

[DMacTX]

23. Yes, funny start, but the 'unborn child' ending was political and gag worthy

[mgcgulfcoast]

33. i agree.

[genna]

31. I noticed that too.

Obama can grin and bear it.

Michelle would be frowning!

[flamingdem]

18. Big thunk, fail at being funny and looking down and reading

now phoney Reagan voice

[pamela]

19. The crowd doesn't seem to like the remarks.

I thought it sounded like he was getting some boos.

[tufnel]

21. Get him Barack

I expect him to be much funnier than Mitt

[mgcgulfcoast]

22. i hope he keeps it about himself

let romney look like a jerk.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

26. No - Obama needs to artfully hammer that creep, chauvinist pig, asshole rMoney - that's all. nt

[fleur-de-lisa]

24. POTUS is so much funnier!

[genna]

25. Agreed.

He's a nasty bugger.

[tufnel]

28. ROFL!!!!!!!

The crack on Ryan and the marathon times... fucking GOLD.

[fleur-de-lisa]

30. BO is much more presidential . . .

Robme was a dick!

[tufnel]

32. Obama is killing it!

He's hilarious

[LiberalElite]

34. It Figures He'd Blow it n/t

[Speck Tater]

35. Partisan is all he knows.

He lives in a partisan bubble. For him there is no other form of reality outside his bubble.

[tufnel]

36. Chris Matthews...

Grey pants, unacceptable.

[swimboy]

38. I wish I could use my middle name.

Just right.

[genna]

39. That popularity overseas comment was GOLD

Romney definitely avoided that problem.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

42. The President was classy.... nt
